Are regular old baked beans too boring for you? Well, you've come to the right place. These beans are flavorful and great for picnics and potlucks. They're tasty and easy too!

Step 1: Ingredients

For this recipe, you'll need a crock pot and...:

Beans:

16 oz.-Great Northern Beans

16 oz.-Kidney beans

16 oz.-Pork and Beans

Meat:

1/2 lb.-Diced Bacon

1/2 lb.-Ground Beef

Sugar-Mixture:

1/3 cup-White Sugar

1/3 cup-Brown Sugar

1/4 cup-Ketchup

1/4 cup-Barbecue Sauce

1 tbsp.-Prepared Mustard

1 tsp.-Cayenne Pepper

1 tsp.-Chili Powder

Step 2: Meat Mixture

Take 1/2 lb. of bacon and dice it. Cut it into pieces no longer than one inch.

Once the bacon is diced, add it to a skillet with the half-pound of ground beef. Using a ground meat chopper or wooden spoon, mix the bacon and beef.

Cover and cook on low.

Step 3: Sugar Mixture

While the meat is cooking, mix up your sugar mixture.

Combine the white and brown sugar, ketchup, barbecue sauce, mustard, chili powder, and pepper in a small bowl.

Set this to the side and prepare your beans.

Step 4: Bean Mixture

Add the Kidney Beans and Great Northern Beans to a strainer. DO NOT ADD THE PORK AND BEANS.

Rinse and drain the Kidney and Great Northern Beans.

Open the can of Pork and Beans and pour into your crock pot.

Next, add the Great Northern and Kidney Beans into your crock pot. Then stir the beans until they're evenly mixed.

Step 5: Drain the Meat Mixture

Once the meat is fully cooked, it's ready to be drained. The ground beef will be done before the bacon, so make sure the bacon is a dark red color and crisp. If the bacon is still pink or soggy, it's not done.

Cover the meat and drain the grease into a small bowl.
